IGNITE @ UCLA is a university chapter of IGNITE National, the non-partisan 501(c)(3) that seeks to empower young women to own their political power. Our organization is dedicated to advancing reproductive justice through advocacy, education, and policy.
We aim to combat sexual violence across UCLA and beyond using a transformative justice framework. Our work prioritizes the well-being of survivors through a trauma-informed approach to advocacy. We do not rely on state mechanisms such as the police or prisons in order to administer justice. Instead, we aim to cultivate accountability, healing, and resilience in order to break cycles of systemic violence.
We are advocating for increased, sustained funding for Campus Assault Resources and Education (CARE) programs across UC campuses.
We are providing presentations about how to access sexual violence resources for student organizations that serve marginalized groups on campus.
Note: We are currently only offering these presentations to UCLA organizations. However, we are aiming to expand our audience in the upcoming weeks.
